Awkwafina: Heist Films Are Like Superhero Movies

Actress-rapper Awkwafina has recently expressed that heist films are like superhero movies. On the work front, after appearing in Ocean 8, the rapper is set to star in Lulu Wang’s as-yet-untitled feature set in China for US production outfit Big Beach Films. A sequel to Steven Soderbergh's 'Ocean's' trilogy, 'Ocean's 8' stars Sandra Bullock as ringleader Debbie Ocean, the sister of George Clooney's character Danny.

"In a way heist films are like superhero movies. The audacity of pulling off a heist is something that no ordinary person would ever do," Awkwafina said in a statement. "With heist movies, the line between good and bad becomes subject to interpretation. The 'Ocean's 8' women are criminals, but at the same time they are doing this for a reason," she added.

On working with all the women, she said, "We had one meet-up before the movie started. I was so nervous. I remember everything about it, including the weather that day. Helena Bonham Carter was the first cast member I met. She said, 'Come over here, come talk to me', and that set the stage for an extremely warm environment”.
